The Brightest Son of My Universe

I knew you when you were small
Just barely up to my knee
Now you've grown so tall
Standing at 6 foot 3
Can you still see me?

I knew you when you didn't know shit
Then for years you were just full of it
I knew someday you'd get your world together
Now that you've started,the only weather.... is rain
Rain
Rain
Rain

You were never a little boy
Just always a little man
My ideas for you
Were never part of your plan

I remember the day I had to let it all go
How far you had come
Yet so far left to go
I taught you all I knew
Shared with you the good and bad
You started making a life for you
Before any others even had a plan
Now I'm walkin' in the rain
Rain
Rain
Rain

I am so proud of you
The young man you are trying to be
But in the rest of my life
There will never be warmer son for me
Shinning bright
Pushing back the rain
Rain
Pain
Rain

Nice work! Please don't take this as me being a smartass here; I'm asking a serious question. Is it "barley" or "barely"?
